How do people get those gorgeous, high-resolution UI screenshots without using Retina display?


Question

I'm talking about screenshots like these:

A screenshot of a vanilla menu on Mac OS A screenshot of Blender, on Linux

These images appear completely non-pixelated and in high resolution. The first one is a a vanilla, operating-system level menu bar in Mac OS, and the second one is in Blender, which does all its own menus.

Is there a trick to getting screenshots like this?

Those screenshots are probably made on a retina screen since the UI is also in high resolution. Normally when you use a magnifier tool you lose quality because of the zooming.
